After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz outlasted the Lakers 124-118. Jazz torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
